Lucio Pizzeria, Zetland, Sydney

Following our recent visit to Zetland to try out their Ribs and Burgers restaurant, we were back there again for dinner recently. Though the main reason for our visit was to stock up on coconut water at the fruit market on the ground floor! Here they sell Pete Evan's Raw C coconut water for a ridiculously low price. It used to be 4 x 1L cartons for $10, but more recently its a little bit higher at a box of 12 for $40. Compared to Woolies which sells it for $6 a carton it is a considerable discount! Given the amount of coconut water we churn through when making smoothies hopefully this place will keep their prices low!

Anyways, after stocking up on the coconut, we proceeded to head to Lucio's, a certified Napoli Pizza restaurant. What this means is that Lucio's has been certified by the organisation which ensures the restaurants which have the certification follow the strict quality and process to ensure pizzas that are made follow the true characteristics of a Napoli Pizza.

The place was pretty busy even though it was only 630ish and we were lucky to grab a table just on the edges.

Pizza special of the day - Italian sausage, smoked buffalo mozzarella -$25 - The Napoli pizza was wood fired to a nice, slightly charred crust. The pizza base light and thin. Minimalist toppings of mushrooms, sausage, mozzarella on a white sauce base allows the flavour of the pizza base to come through.

Pasta special of the day - Seafood spaghetti - $32 - Price is slightly on the high side for this dish, bu the flavours are spot on. The seafood was wonderfully fresh and as you can see from the below, was more than plentiful.

The place was absolutely buzzing.
